"Your secret, it's never too late to tell me when you're willing to tell me."
After Chu Jinshen said this, he made some arrangements with Zhao Er beside him.
The incident happened suddenly, and he had never thought that the queen would be so bold.
But at this point, there was probably only one reason: the emperor was probably no longer able to do anything.
The sixteenth prince is young. If the throne is handed over to the second prince, Concubine Zhang will never let them go.
It would be better to take a gamble and let the youngest son ascend the throne, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.
So the Prince of Chuanzhou led his troops and surrounded the imperial palace.
It’s a pity that the queen never expected that Concubine Zhang had already slipped out of the palace.
Only then did she anxiously ask someone to bring Lu Anan into the palace just in case.
Unexpectedly, Lu Anan's actions not only failed to make her succeed, but also made her suffer a loss.
Looking at Chu Jinshen's back, Lu Anan felt a little uneasy.
I just feel a sweetness in my heart.
But now is not the time to think about these things. They have retreated to a remote palace garden.
Qingzhu Yuehuan and the nanny were also brought here by Wang Wu.
They saw Lu Anan and hurried over.
"Princess! I'm glad you're okay."
Mammy breathed a sigh of relief. She had never thought that such a big thing could happen.
On the way here, Wang Wu had already told them what had happened, and Yuehuan's face turned pale.
Lu Anan shook her head to indicate that she was fine. The nanny checked her up and down and then felt relieved.
Qingzhu, who was standing next to him, felt more relieved. He looked around and muttered to himself.
"This place seems... to be the cold palace?"
Lu Anan was stunned. Cold Palace?
The nanny scolded, and Qingzhu subconsciously covered his mouth.
Lu Anan belatedly remembered that the late queen had hanged herself here.
She turned and looked at Chu Jinshen, feeling a little worried.
The black-armored soldiers were guarding the surroundings, observing the situation. The queen was busy with her own affairs and had no time to chase them.
Chu Jinshen frowned, and Li Si beside him reported in a low voice.
"Master, the Second Prince and the Southwestern Army will be here soon."
Chu Jinshen's eyes darkened. This battle for the throne was probably about to come to a final decision.
"If the Black Armored Soldiers wait for the right opportunity, then..."
Chu Jinshen shook his head gently: "It's not the right time yet."
Li Si was a little puzzled: "Master, at this point, why don't you just speak directly..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chu Jinshen.
"Among these princes, the only one with the right status and the ability to maintain the status quo is Chu Shengan."
"He knew he didn't have much time left, so he left an imperial decree long before the wedding date was set."
Li Si clenched his hands suddenly, feeling extremely angry.
"Yes, I understand."
Chu Jinshen had one more thing he hadn't said yet. Even if there was an imperial edict, it would not count if it was not stamped with the imperial seal.
He raised his eyes to look at the high palace wall, and all he could hear was a whisper.
"Do you regret it, mother?"
Lu Anan was a little bored, so she took a quick look at her space and found nothing except the supplies she had collected before crossing over.
In the past few days, the Lu Mansion, the Changping Marquis Mansion, and the Imperial Palace have been emptied one after another.
She instantly became a wealthy woman.
She didn't show it on her face, but she was very happy in her heart.
Once the second prince returns and ascends the throne, the original trajectory will not change.
At that time, she would be exiled to Yuezhou and wait to become a pretty widow.
Wait, bah, bah, bah, what do you mean by pretty widow.
Lu Anan's eyes flashed. Beauty naturally wants the best.
Besides... Lu Anan's ears blushed. This Chu Jinshen is quite a nice guy.
After all, he had been protecting her from the beginning to the end. Although she didn't know why, Lu Anan thought about it.
She still has a lot of good things in her hands. Even if Chu Jinshen wants to harm her, she can pack up and run away.
No, when the time comes, I will have to take the warehouse of the Seventh Prince’s Mansion with me and run away!
Speaking of this, Lu Anan suddenly remembered that her dowry and her betrothal gifts were still piled up in the Seventh Prince's Mansion!
If her house was raided and she was exiled, she would definitely pack all these things up properly.
I guarantee that the new emperor won’t be cheap.
Lu Anan, whose heart has already shifted to Chu Jinshen, naturally has no good impression of the new emperor who has been kicked in the head by a donkey.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but in order to seek peace, he wanted to exile Chu Jinshen when he was seriously injured and unconscious.
Finally he died on the way to exile.
Lu Anan felt inexplicably distressed, and her eyes were somewhat gentle when she looked at Chu Jinshen.
Chu Jinshen turned around and looked at her, and a question mark slowly appeared in his mind.
Could it be that the princess... truly loves him to the bone?
Thinking of this, Chu Jinshen felt a little complicated. The poison had not yet been cured for him. If he made a promise now, what would be the difference between him and a heartless man?
only. . .
Do you want to let go?
He thought about it, from childhood until now, the hand he wanted to hold had never left.
But now he has grown up, mother, please allow him to be willful for once.
Chu Jinshen took the initiative to walk up to Lu Anan and spoke.
"There's a shop in the north of the city that makes delicious white jade cakes."
Lu Anan was stunned. She didn't know how to respond to such a confusing sentence.
But after meeting Chu Jinshen's gaze, he asked cautiously.
"If I want to eat...?"
"Wait a little longer, I'll buy it for you right away."
Chu Jin was deeply satisfied and said these words in a soothing manner.
Lu Anan looked at his back as he left, lowered her head and chuckled.
The beauty is really... quite cute.
The nanny standing by took in this interaction and looked back at the dilapidated palace.
"Your Majesty, the prince is fine, and the princess is fine too, please rest assured."
Inside the emperor's bedroom, everyone was in chaos.
Concubine Li Shufei had a high status, so the Queen did not dare to touch her easily.
But someone was also asked to keep an eye on her and prevent Concubine Li Shu from causing trouble.
She and the Prince of Chuanzhou searched the entire palace but could not find any trace of the imperial seal.
That fake imperial edict also seemed a bit out of place.
"Brother, what should we do?"
The queen was extremely anxious. Just as she was about to speak, a report suddenly came from outside the door.
"Report! The Second Prince, the Second Prince has arrived!"
The queen loosened her grip, and the imperial edict fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Luo Sheng'an led his men into the palace. His face was stern, and he raised the reins high and then dropped them heavily.
Following behind were not only the Southwestern Army, but also... the Imperial Guards.
When the Prince of Chuanzhou received the news, the Queen took two steps back and laughed.
"It turns out that he has arranged everything."
"Since the successor has already been chosen, why are you still giving me hope?"
The queen roared, and Lu Qingqing, who was hiding outside the door, heard it.
Her face was pale and she clutched Li Zhengming's sleeve tightly.
"Li, Li Lang, what should we do?"
